Laurence,
I'm a newbie also, except I've been playing with Flex for about a month.
This Flex technology is extensive. Much to learn with very few direct
examples in some of the more difficult areas.
No kidding! I've found very little out there that's actually useful
to help me learn anything about this.
I too am using MySQL and there is no direct interface from Flex to
MySQL. The FLEX technology was probably not meant to just interface with any
one data provider.
There is one package I found on the Web that allows you to mimic a JDBC
Interface to a database. I'll need to go back and find its name (assql I
think). Never tried it, so can't comment on its effectiveness.
Have no idea what JDBC even is. So I'm just gonna stick with CF, I
guess. I already own a copy of CF8 and MS-SQL, so those are what I'm
gonna have to deal with, I suppose.
I'm trying to follow a couple of "hello world" apps that I've
found. But geez!! Even they're unbelievably complicated. Three
different modules just to say "hello world?" That's crazy!
I'd really like it if I could get this "Training From the Source:
Adobe Flex 3" book to work with the CF8 server that's already
installed on my machine. Then maybe I could finish the book and
understand a bit more about accessing data. But as it stands now,
I'm pretty much stuck. I copied their "run-time" CF server wwwroot
folder to the C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot folder, but it still doesn't
work. I think I have to link their .xml data to my CF8 server
somehow, but I have absolutely no idea how to do that.
